Update

It has been awhile so I thought I would post an update. Let's see...what has happened since I last blogged?
1. Sawyer got his first tooth
2. Sawyer learned how to wave bye bye
3. Sawyer learned how to say "hey" and thinks it is really funny when you say it back and forth with him
4. Layne and Chris survived a horrible bout of strep throat
5. Chris turned 29 years old

I think that is about everything I needed to let you know to catch you up to date. We are headed to Kansas City tonight to stay with our friend Angela for the weekend. I am sure I will have some fun pictures to post on Monday. Have a great weekend!

It was a GREAT season!

We couldn't pull off a win against Webb City last night so our season officially came to an end. Even though we lost we can officially label this football season as a great success. It has been several years since we played this well and it was sure fun! Webb City is an amazing football team and I wouldn't be surprised if they went all the way this year. I am so proud of my dad and his Branson Pirates! Until next year...(hopefully!!) :)

Reading is Fun

Sawyer got a new book for halloween and, as you can tell by this video, he absolutely loves it! He laughed so hard it gave him the hiccups!

Halloween Fun

Sawyer's first halloween was full of fright and fun! He started out the day by getting 4 shots at the Health Department (his 6 month vaccinations)! He wasn't so excited about that, but he quickly forgot it once he got to school and saw his teachers and classmates all dressed up for the day. He had a fun day at school with a lot of partying and then we went home to get him ready for the big night. First, we went to the Cape Fair Baptist Church to see Grandma and G-Pa and Grandma had a good time showing Sawyer off to all her friends. Then we traveled back to Branson for a fire and marshmallow roasting at Nanny and Papa's. Sawyer enjoyed himself even though he had no idea why he was wearing a dinosoar outfit! He looked so cute as "sawdoggiesaurus."

We Won!!!!

As you can see by the title, we beat Republic last night and are officially in the State Playoffs!! We travel back to Webb City on Wednesday and have great hopes of beating them this time! We are so excited. It has been 10 years since we have been in the playoffs so this is a big thing for our family and we are celebrating hard! I am so proud of my dad for sticking it out and for all of his hard work and dedication. I am also praising God today for blessing him with a much needed incredible season! He deserves it so much.

Kaylor is 2!

I am somewhat sad to say that my baby niece turned 2 on Sunday and is growing up so fast! We celebrated her birthday at the Springfield zoo and had cake and presents in the pavillion afterwards. It was a blustery day full of fun! Here are a few pictures from Sawyer's first zoo experience.
